Blinded by the morning light, Ca.s.sie sat up from her bed.

"My gos.h.!.+ Am late!"

She quickly washes her face and brushes her teeth. It's almost the end of summer and cla.s.ses began!

She just came back from Africa and she will celebrate her 17th birthday soon.

What did she do in Africa? Her parents are working as Volunteers in Africa. Her mom as a nurse and her dad helping the locals to cultivate the lands that trees would grow up. The African countries now began planting millions of trees and they even able to grow vegetables on special land her dad and the African local's experimentation.

She visited them every summer after the cla.s.s year ended. She had a lot of friends back in Africa in every country her family a.s.signed to. In fact, they threw an advanced birthday party for her before she flies back to Hiryuu Island.

And now, the waves are waiting!

Ca.s.sie changes her pajamas into a rash guard. She runs the stairs and rushes to the kitchen.

"Auntie Ling! Have you prepared my lunch?"

"Ah, yes. Wait, are you not going to have breakfast?" the woman asked worriedly.

"I'll eat them on the way, auntie Ling!"

Ca.s.sie put the sandwiches and fruits into the bag when she heard Joanna buzzing her.

"It's Joanna! Bye, auntie Ling!" she runs to the main door.

"Wait! Tell Joanna to drive slowly! My goodness, you're giving me a heart attack!" the poor woman shouted. She sighed as Ca.s.sie now get out of the Villa.

"Hey, hurry up!"

"Yup! It's your fault last night that we end up sleeping late!" she yells at Joanna.

"Duh. Who said she won't play those games? Now that you learn it, you almost catch up with me!"

"I will in no time!" Ca.s.sie proudly said.

Joanna drove her scooter towards the Southern part of the island because it is where found the high waves are.

"Hey, what you girls took so long? It's already noon!"

"Yeah, we heard you, Nathan!" Joanna yells.

They quickly rush to the water after they park.

"Hey, check this out, Ca.s.sie!" Jules shows his surfing board.

"Whoa, cool!"

"Hey, guys!" Allan arrives with more surfboard.

They all gather on his pick up truck to find a suitable board for each of them. They will go to rent per hour. For Ca.s.sie, she can buy one anytime she wants but her parents won't allow her. So they just renting one as their parents don't know anyway.

They test the waves until they waited for the big one. After two hours, they took a break and everyone shared lunch together.

The sun is at the highest peak and bigger waves. .h.i.tting the sh.o.r.e.

Ca.s.sie wanders her gazes. Only a few surfers who battled the waves now. She went again and join them.

Ah, this is so nice. Touching the waves like this, she felt like a part of the ocean.

Ca.s.sie could hear every cheer after they successfully rode the waves. And the big one is here.

They swam to position and ride their board. Ca.s.sie enjoying the waves when she felt a hard thing hits her head. She lost consciousness.

She woke up that night in a hospital bed. Ah, her ears ringing from a loud voice. Who was it?

"Ca.s.sie? Thank G.o.d you are awake! You really give me a heart attack, your child!" Auntie Ling sobs.

"Ca.s.sie, are you alright?"

Ca.s.sie's forehead showing blacklines.

"Who are you?" she asked.

Joanna's mouth dropped open from her question. She looks about to cry when Ca.s.sie laughing hard.

"Ca.s.sandra Marivella Chen Young!" Joanna yells that made the doctor and nurses shush her and glared at them..

"Would you stop yelling my full name?" she complains.

"So what? And who the h.e.l.l give you this long name?" Joanna blurted which made Ca.s.sie just giggles.

Anyways, truly does someone give her this name. Marivella was from the name of her ancestor. . . and about the name Ca.s.sandra, her mama Hannah said, a friend give it.

The next day, she was able to go home as she only got small bruises on the head. Joanna keeps nagging Nathan for hitting her on the head when he loses balance.

"Ca.s.sie, don't do dangerous stunts anymore! What am I going to tell your parents if the accident is worse than that?"

"Am sorry auntie Ling."

"Okay, rest now. Your birthday is next week, isn't you will go to the Mainland City with Ruben?"

"Yes, auntie Ling."

"Okay, behave when you are there, promise me?"

"I will, auntie Ling!" she smiled sweetly.

The middle-aged woman sighed and shook her head. How she can stay angry at this girl when she smiled like that?

"Thank you! You really save me!" She told him and just make a quick glance in his direction to give a smiled.

Wait, has she realize that this elevator is just for the Executives on this hotel? Quinn thoughts.

And where is the Security that supposes to be on guard on that floor? In front of the Executive Elevator is has a Security to block the hotel guest on using this exclusive elevator.

He examines the young girl. She was comfortably leaning on the mirror wall while busy tapping on her phone as she was like playing a game. She also wearing a headphone so her attention and concentration is only on the game. She is a totally typical teenager on this generation.

He also checks her clothes and she was wearing very short shorts pants and a dark pink spaghetti strap blouse, then a baby pink converse shoes.

His mouth dropped. If he were her brother, he would never ever allows her dressing up like this!

The lift stops on the 40th floor and the door opens, the employees quickly bow when they recognized him and about to greet him but he quickly raises his hand to stop them.

But their attention moves to the beautiful woman he is with. The door closes and they were left in awe.

They exchange gazes and wonders. Who was that? Is she the boss girlfriend?

Their eyes sparks. All the employees knew how the President was in a rage for days but he seems was in a good mood today.

The lift stops again, the employees quickly bow after recognizing the President was riding inside. But surprise to see he was with a girl.

They left in wonder. Obviously, no one could take this elevator aside of the Executives and other higher position of employees. Unless the President brings his girlfriend!

The Security back to his senses from the shocked and quickly warned all the Securities of every floor to block everyone who wants to use the Executive Elevator for the moment.

"The Dragon is riding it," their code.

Ca.s.sie looks up and wonders that the elevator does not take it stops anymore. Well, it's convenient for her to reach the ground floor quickly.

They were now on the 3rd floor so she stands straight and moves closer to the door.

The moment the door opens is also she felt a coat wrap around her body. She looks up in shock. Who?

"It's raining outside," said of a very handsome man but his facial expression is very serious.

"Thank you," she said in a daze. She steps out fast and walks without looking back.

The securities that standing outside the lift, including the employees who waited for the elevator, they all got shocked to what they've witnessed.

They bow to the President but their eyes were talking like asking if who's that girl? They never heard of him having a girlfriend.

Is she the President's mistress?
